Semolina is the endosperm or heart of the durum wheat kernel- a hard wheat variety with a high protein to carbohydrate ratio and a high gluten content. Durum wheat is more coarsely ground than other flours. It is mainly used for producing pasta and couscous, which is why semolina is often listed as the main ingredient.
